Some of the other drinking holes. How many are still trading? Are they still under the same name? If not what is their name currently?
Used to frequent the rack and manger pub on the winchester to stockbridge road - they once had a hexagonal pool table - silly fad as you needed to rotate the table to play, and as you did so, all the balls moved - D’oh!
King Alfred was also a good pub.
Definitely still going is…The Kings Arms (Lymington), The Mailmans Arms (Lyndhurst), Rockingham Arms (West Wellow), The Flowerpots Inn (Cheriton), The Olde Whyte Harte (Hamble)…and I’m sure a couple more are but not 100%.
Just scanned the entire thread from start to finish! A magnificent effort and some eye-opening photos.
I now live in The Dell and can vaguely remember matchday trips here with my uncle in terms of the stadium itself, but not the surrounding area.
Don’t suppose anybody has photos of what Archers Road, Milton Road, Wilton Avenue or Hill Lane looked like when The Dell still stood?
If you could go through and vote up,all the pictures, just for my efforts like. I am sure I could find some of the surrounding areas. There are a few on this thread already! 
When I lived up Cranbury Avenue, I used to found at this bar daily between the age of 16-17. Straight out of exams, into the pub…easy times!
Dont know why, but I cannot work out where this is! I keep looking at, what looks like a dead end, but also cannot work out the places of worship… I’m going to kick myself.
Middle left to right London Road. Middle far right the old Ordnance Survey HQ now The Law Courts. Crossroads, south Bellevue Road…north Carlton Crescent & Carlton Place.
So is the one that looks like a dead end the varsity, or whatever it is now?
I’m not sure which dead end you’re talking about. There is a building just right of centre facing the camera…that’s a building on the sharp left corner about 50 yards into Carlton Place…not a dead end.
Start of the Southampton floats, for the carnival. Used to go and watch this every year up the avenue.
I look at this building in a different light now. I only found out this week, that this building was built to look like a ship. The windows, the funnels and the shape, to represent Southampton and the port. This is why it is a protected building now.
Ship or not, it still looks shit
